This block allows to see the estimated dedication time to a Moodle course by the participants of the course.

How dedication time is estimated?

Time is estimated based in the concepts of Session and Session duration applied to Moodle's log entries:

Click: every time that a user access to a page in Moodle a log entry is stored.

Session: set of two or more consecutive clicks in which the elapsed time between every pair of consecutive clicks does not overcome an established maximum time.

Session duration: elapsed time between the first and the last click of the session.

Features

This block is intended to be used only by teachers, so students aren't going to see it and their dedication time. However, block can be configured to show dedication time to students too.

Teachers can use a tool to analyse dedication time within a course. The tool provides three views:

Dedication time of the course: calculates total dedication time, mean dedication time and connections per day for each student.

Dedication time of a group: the same but only for choosed group members.

Dedication of a student: detailed sessions for a student with start date & time, duration and ip.

The tools have a link to download all data in spreadsheet format. The use is restricted by a capability to teachers and admins only. The table presentation is improved with Twitter Bootstrap styles if current theme inherits from bootstrapbase theme.

This block cannot be used in the site page, only in courses pages.

All texts in English and Spanish (AMOS).

Important bug with course group mode

Please review group mode of the course. You won't be able to view students dedication when groups are enabled and students aren't assigned
to a group.

Moodle automatic updates

If Moodle notifies you about updating this block and offer you two versions, always use the latest version which is tagged as "reset". That is the new Moodle 2 version as seen in the screenshots and have all the features.

Note for Moodle 2.7

Moodle 2.7 changed its internal logging system, so you need to enable "legacy login" to do this plugin compatible.

The plugin is still compatible with Moodle 2.7. However Moodle has changed is logging internal system, so the old mdl_log table isn't filled with new log entries by default. These log entries are needed by this plugin to calculate course dedication.

Hi , I was wondering if you made the relative webservice function for the report. My idea is 2 parameters in input course id and userid. If no I think to start this onmy self because have to interact with external application,have you got some advices?

Hi all,
A problem I've had with the supercool dedication block was that I needed to filter the results by group.
So I have added support for result filtering in my fork of the dedication block using the dropdown table filter (it's under the GPL2 license)
source for ddtf.js is here: https://github.com/rbayliss/Dropdown-Table-Filter

I am running Moodle 2.8.3 and have installed the course dedication block on to a pre-existing course, that users are already enrolled upon and have already completed activities for.
I have enabled legacy logging but the block is saying there are no participants for the course. Is this an issue relating to running the block on 2.8 or something I'm doing wrong?

hello i installed this block enabled legacy but not appear the course dedication configuration (3rd screenshot) and appear internal error
i have moodle 2.8 can you help me please???
@Andy McKay how do you install it?
